About this episode
A massive crowd braved Sydney’s pouring rain to cross the Harbour Bridge on Sunday. The message was clear, loud, and politically unmissable. By Monday morning, MPs from both major parties were forced to respond - but will increased public pressure lead to action?
Meanwhile, the jostling has begun ahead of Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ Economic Reform Roundtable, now less than two weeks away. What started as a narrow productivity summit has grown… or has it narrowed into something else entirely?
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Paul Sakkal, Chief Political Correspondent, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald on The Party Room.
